Policies and Procedures

All students at Legacy Junior High are expected to perform in a highly ethical and honest manner in all areas of school involvement. In academics, students are expected to do their own work to the best of their ability. The faculty, staff, and administration of Legacy Junior High are united in the belief that all students should practice ethical and honest behavior.      

Some examples of unethical or dishonest behavior would include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, copying other students’ assignments, allowing others to copy their assignments, copying and pasting items into an assignment, using any electronic device to get unauthorized answers, or doing anything that would be considered dishonest in their work and dealings with teachers and classmates.  

Teachers and administrators will deal with students who violate this standard in a fair and appropriate manner. Consequences may include, but are not limited to, calling home to inform parents, getting a zero on an assignment or assessment with an opportunity to complete an alternate assignment or assessment to replace the zero score, receiving a “U” for the term from the teacher, receiving an administrative U, and/or getting suspended.  

PLAGIARISM occurs when a writer deliberately uses someone else’s language, ideas, or other material without acknowledging its source. Plagiarism may also include close paraphrasing. Plagiarism may take many forms including the following: 

• Copying word for word from any outside source (print, video, online) without proper acknowledgement. This applies to the use of an entire paper, to use of entire sections and paragraphs, and to the use of a few distinct words and phrases. 

• Paraphrasing ideas from an outside source without proper acknowledgement. 

• Using any other organization or person to prepare work which one then submits as his/her own, including submitting in whole or in part, a paper written by another student. 

• Citing a source that does not exist. 

• Attributing to a source ideas and information that are not included in the source. 

• Citing a source in a bibliography when the source was neither consulted nor cited in the body of the paper. 

• Intentionally distorting the meaning or applicability of data. 

• Inventing data or statistical results to support conclusions. 

 

CHEATING is any deceitful and dishonest act associated with academic performance. Examples include but are not limited to: 

• Copying from another’s test or assignment. 

• Allowing someone to copy from your test or assignment. 

• Using materials during a test or on an assignment not authorized by the instructor. 

• Collaborating with a group or an individual during a test or on an assignment without the instructor’s permission. 

• Continuing to work on a test after the allocated time has ended. 

• Altering a graded assignment or test after it has been returned and then submitting for re-grading. 

• Knowingly obtaining, using, buying, selling, reproducing, circulating or soliciting in whole or part the contents of any test without prior authorization of the instructor. 

• Bribing another student to obtain a test. Soliciting or receiving unauthorized information about a test. 

• Retaining, possessing, using or circulating previously given test materials where those materials clearly indicate they are to be returned to the instructor at the conclusion of the examination. 

• Providing false information in connection with any inquiry regarding academic honesty and integrity. 

• Falsifying records or official documents such as: academic records, report cards, letters of permission, ID cards, absence excuses, parent notes, etc. 

 

Accidents and illnesses are to be reported to the office where immediate care can be arranged. Parents should be contacted before students will be allowed to check out of school with an injury.

In compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Davis School District and Legacy Jr. High will provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities.  Students, parents, or employees needing accommodation should contact their school ADA/504 Coordinator Michael Archibald (402-4700), their principal or supervisor, or you may contact the District ADA Coordinator, Steve Baker (402-5315), for parent or employee accommodations; or Section 504 Coordinator, Midori Clough (402-5180) for student accommodations.

Absence - If a student is going to be absent for any reason, a parent should let the office know the reason. The parent must make personal contact with the school before a student will be excused during school hours. The school cannot release a student from school to anyone but the legal guardian or adult designated by the guardian. All activities during the school day are mandatory. Activities are planned for students’ educational value. All assemblies, testing, seminars, etc., are considered to be an important part of the junior high school experience. The school will not support any unsupervised release of students during these events or at any other time during school hours. In the event of an absence, all make-up work is the student’s responsibility. Absences must be cleared within 3 days after returning to school from the absence. Five (5) uncleared absences will result in a citizenship ‘U.’ To clear an absence from home, a parent can send the student to school with a note, or simply call the attendance number at (801) 402-4706 and leave a message. 

Prearranged Absence - Students who must miss school for hospitalization, family trips, etc., should have a parent contact the attendance office in advance, if possible. When students arrange unavoidable absences in advance, they stand a better chance of maintaining academic and citizenship standing. It is also strongly recommended that the parent or student contact the student’s mentor for Silver Wolf Support (9th period) and share the pertinent information related to the extended absence.  This information can then be shared with the student’s teachers if requested. 

Admit to Class - Admits will only be written for students who check in to school or have been detained in the office. Admits do not excuse a student’s tardy unless so specified. 

Check-in/Check-out Policy - Students must check in through the main office before going to class if they have arrived late. Students must check out through the main office if he or she is going to leave school before the end of the school day. To maintain student safety, parents/guardians must come in to the office and present picture ID in order to check out a student. Any individual checking out a student must be listed as either a parent/guardian or an emergency contact for that student. The office will send for the student being checked out once they have been properly checked out. 

Pre-arranged Check-out Exceptions: Students who travel home for lunch or who will check-out repeatedly at the same time of day for other school related activities (i.e. magnet courses or high school sports) must have an Extended Check-out Notification form complete and on file in the office. Parents must come to the office with picture ID to complete the form. 

Homework During Absences - Students who miss class should contact their teachers via email and the MyDSD system as soon as possible following an absence in order to identify a plan to make up missed schoolwork.  

Closed Campus Policy - Legacy Junior High School is a closed campus. Students are to remain on campus during school hours, including lunchtime. Students who choose to leave campus without checking out will be marked truant. 

Tardiness - Tardiness is disruptive to the orderly running of a school. Students may be considered tardy if they are not prepared for class and in their seats before the tardy bell. Students who are excessively tardy will receive reduced citizenship grades and will be subject to school discipline. Three (3) tardies are considered to be excessive in one term in any given class. Poor attendance in a class may result in lowered citizenship. Students and parents should be aware of each teacher's citizenship policy listed on their classroom disclosure statement. 

Truant (Unexcused Absence) - Students are truant if they are not where they are supposed to be during school hours. Citations, unsatisfactory citizenship grades, school suspensions and alternate school placements are all possible consequences of truancy. Discipline points will be assigned to the student as deemed necessary from the Discipline Points Policy. According to District Policy the following citations and fines will be issued along with as follows: 

Truancy Citation Schedule 

First – Warning  

Second - $10.00 

Third - $15.00 

Fourth - $20.00 

Five or more - $25.00  

Other Consequences of Truancy 

• A "U" citizenship grade may be given in classes missed. 

• An administrative "U" may be given. 

• Teachers are not obligated to allow students to make up assignments or tests missed as a result of truancy.  

• On campus detention after school may be given. 

• Parent conference may be required prior to returning to school. 

• Students who exhibit a pattern of excessive truancy will be referred to District Student Services for further disciplinary action 

 

Legacy Junior High School is on the 8 Block Schedule. This means there are 8 classes, with periods 1-4 meeting A Days and periods 5-8 meeting on B Days. Throughout the year, activities such as assemblies may affect the bell schedule. In such an event, teachers will be given the schedule in advance and teachers will notify students of changes.

To ensure safety, students must demonstrate responsible behavior while riding the school bus. All students being transported are under the authority of the bus driver and must obey driver requests. Students should follow these rules: 

• Stay off the pavement as the bus approaches; 

• Enter the bus in an orderly manner; 

• Be seated and remain seated while the bus is in motion;

• Do not carry any item that could cause a hazard to passengers. 

• Engage in school appropriate language and behaviors. 

A school administrator will contact parents and/or the police in cases where students have engaged in disorderly conduct or behaviors that endanger passengers. Students may be suspended from the bus for a set period of time or permanently depending on the behaviors. 

Bus infractions will be a minimum of 5 points and a maximum of 20 points for discipline. 

Eligibility - To find out if a student is eligible for busing, please log on to the my.DSD link at the following internet address: http://www.davis.k12.ut.us/legacy and select the Reports/Transportation Information tabs. Busing information should be available within a week prior to the beginning of school each year. 

If you are not eligible to ride the bus but would like to be placed on the bus waiting list, please contact LJH administration.  

 

Cafeteria - All food purchased in the cafeteria or brought to school must be consumed in the lower cafeteria or upper commons area. 

The following behaviors are strictly prohibited in the cafeteria: 

• Running to get in line; "Cutting in" or saving a place for others in line; 

• Throwing anything; 

• Leaving trash, trays, or food on the tables; 

Students violating any of the above or participating in disruptive behavior may be given lunchtime detention, asked to participate with lunch cleaning duty as part of redemptive/corrective action, and/or given an administrative U and discipline points for repeated infractions. 

Lunch Accounts - Students may obtain a school lunch by bringing money daily or by depositing money into their lunch account through the MyDSD system. Money not used during the year will be carried over in the student’s account for the following year. Checks for lunches should be made payable to Davis County School Foods. All lunch money should be deposited in the school cafeteria. 

Commons - Vending machines provided in the commons area are for the convenience of students and staff before/after school and during lunchtime. Students should not visit the vending machines during class time. The school will not refund money lost in the vending machines. Students should be sure to place wrappers and containers in trash cans in order to ensure a clean school environment. 

Clearing the Halls - School hallways open to students at 7:30 a.m. and close to students at 3:10 p.m. Students in the building outside of those hours must be under direct supervision of a teacher or staff member. Parents or guardians should plan to have their students picked up from school immediately following the bell to end school. 

Closed Halls - All classroom halls (collaboration areas) are closed during lunch. Students should be in the cafeteria, main hallway, gym, or courtyard area during lunch. Students who do not follow this policy may receive lunch detention or an administrative U and discipline points for repeated infractions. 

Parents and students should notify the office when their address or phone number changes or when there is a change in the legal guardian. Such notification allows the office to be able to contact parents and send information to the accurate address.

The Davis County School District has instituted a citizenship policy that affects high school graduation. Ninth grade students who receive citizenship U’s must make them up prior to high school graduation. Citizenship grades will be determined each term by the teacher. The school administration can also issue a citizenship ‘U’ for negative or inappropriate behavior. Legacy Junior High will follow the district outlined citizenship policy outlined in section 4I-004 of the Davis School District Policy and Procedures manual. 

In order to clear a ‘U,’ a student must complete a school pre-approved project and pay a $5.00 citizenship fee. When the citizenship credit is satisfactorily made up, the administration will restore the lost credit. Students interested in appealing a ‘U’ must contact the citizenship secretary prior to midterm of the following term. 

Discipline Points may be administered to students according to the Points Policy by Legacy Administration at the time student receives the U. 

Class change requests for both semesters will be accepted prior to the beginning of the school year. Class changes for first semester classes will not be accepted after the beginning of the first semester. Class change requests for second semester schedules will be accepted during the first semester but not after the beginning of the second semester. By school policy no class change requests will be accepted during a semester already in session. Any exception to this policy will be rare and require an appeal to the LJH Local Case Management Team. Each time a schedule change is made, there will be a $10.00 charge.

The following classes have fees associated with them.  Class Fees, per district and state policy, are assessed to students taking a class to cover costs associated with supplies and materials that will be used by your student throughout the semester or year. You can find the Davis School District Fee Policy here.  Class fees are audited yearly to ensure that the funds charged are being used within district and state requirements. You can find a breakdown of the fees associated with each class below. 

 

 

A parent or legal guardian having custody over a school age minor is required under state law to enroll and send a school age minor to a public or established private school during the school year in the district in which the minor re-sides. The process of education requires continuity of instruction, class participation and study. Frequent absences from classes disrupt the instructional process. Parents/guardians are encouraged to work with the school in promoting regular attendance of all students.

Computers used by students are for instructional purposes. Prior to computer use, students and parents will sign an Acceptable Use Policy, which addresses issues related to the use of the internet. Students are required to use their assigned device in each class. Students should report damage to their assigned device immediately. Student misuse and damage of school electronic devices will result in school discipline, a reimbursement fine, and loss of computer privileges. At the end of each school year, student folders and files will be deleted. Students wishing to keep certain files, should download them at home through their my.DSD locker on the school website.

Discipline

Discipline policies are established to help all students achieve and to create a safe & healthy learning environment. The guidelines below are provided for clarity and transparency. Since it is impossible to anticipate all student discipline violations, administrators will work to ensure that similar offenses receive similar consequences. Additional consequences issued will be issued to chronic offenders.

For any type of mischievous classroom disruption, the teacher will follow the following procedures:

 1.       Provide general redirection through proximity or verbal prompt.

2.       Provide more direct redirection to the specific student(s).

3.       Direct warning to the student with modification (change of seat, behavioral procedures.)

4.       Conference with student apart from the rest of the class.

5.       Referral to administration using the LJH Office Referral Form.

a.      Administration will talk with the student, reteach skills, and if possible have the student return to the classroom after an apology to the teacher.

b.      Administration will call the parent / guardian and inform them of the office referral.

c.      The teacher will contact the parent or guardian within 48 hours to discuss the behavioral issue(s.)

In severe cases, the above steps may be overridden, and students may be referred directly to administration. Severe situations include, but are not restricted to, vandalism, open defiance, or threat of a physical nature. Discipline points or other consequences are given for unacceptable behavior. A conference with parent/guardian, teacher, student, and administrator may be scheduled with severe situations or habitual problems.

 Points for Unacceptable Behavior-

The following point scale is a guideline for administrators issuing points. The points may be reduced or increased according to individual circumstances, and possible repeat offenses.

 Discipline Point Procedures-

Teachers, as well as others supervising halls or other activities, may refer students for infractions where points and consequences may be assessed by the administration. Points are reduced naturally for appropriate behavior: 25%-point reduction for every TEN school days a student is not referred to the office.  Points can be reduced through other means as well. These reductions are at the administrator’s discretion and can be applied After the first FIFTH School Day of the points being issued.

Any student with 50 points or more at any time may not be allowed to attend assemblies, field trips, dances, or other extra-curricular activities. In addition, students with 50 points or more at the end of the school year, will be forfeiting the privilege to be at Legacy Junior High the last week of school and all activities included therein. Notice will be sent two weeks prior to the end of the school year.

1.      35 cumulative points, Lunch detention

2.      50 cumulative points, ISS for the day. Meeting with parent / guardian via phone or in person to discuss behaviors and to review skills to improve behavior. 

3.      100 cumulative points, ISS plus 2 hours service after school. Required meeting with parent to create Behavioral Plan / Contract.

4.      150 cumulative points. Reduction of school schedule through the end of the term.

Extracurricular Activities - Participation in athletics, cheerleading, student government, student clubs, and other extra-curricular activities is not a constitutionally protected civil right. Therefore, students who are suspended, transferred to an alternative placement, or expelled, may lose the privilege of participation in all extracurricular activities during the period of discipline and will not be afforded due process procedures to challenge the denial of participation. 

Eligibility and Standards - Students participating in extracurricular activities shall exemplify good citizenship. District and school standards for student participation in student government and extracurricular activities are as follows: 

Eligibility for Student Officers and Cheerleaders: 

Academic Requirements - Students must have a 3.0 GPA for each of the three preceding terms in order to run for office or tryout for cheerleading and must maintain a 3.0 GPA each term to remain in that office. A GPA of less than a 3.0 will put the student on probation until the next grading period. (Midterm progress reports DO NOT APPLY.) A student can only have one (1) probationary period while being an officer or cheerleader. 

Citizenship Standards - If a ‘U’ citizenship grade was received during the grading period prior to elections or tryouts, that ‘U’ and any other outstanding citizenship U's must be cleared before the due date of petitions for office (student government) or the first day of tryouts (cheerleaders and athletes). 

One ‘U’ during office/cheerleading will put the student on probation until the next grading period. 

Two probations, more than one ‘U,’ a safe school violation, and/or a pattern of school policy violations will result in immediate removal from office or cheerleading team. 

Eligibility for Athletes: 

Academic Requirements - Students participating in athletic activities must have a 2.0 GPA from the previous term. This standard must be maintained throughout the playing season in order to participate. 

No student shall be eligible to represent his or her school if he or she has academically failed more than one subject in the preceding grading period. 

Determination of academic eligibility shall be made no later than the seventh calendar day following the last day of the grading period. Grade changes after that time cannot restore lost eligibility. 

Citizenship Standards - Students receiving one ‘U’ in the preceding grading period will be subject to review by the School Standards Committee. A student may be put on probation and allowed to participate if the committee feels that there have been mitigating circumstances, or that an honest effort is being made to improve. 

Students receiving two or more U’s in a grading period will be eliminated from extracurricular activities immediately and for the succeeding term. 

At the discretion of the school principal and School Standards Committee, a student with one or more U’s may partici-pate when their credit has been restored. 

Determination of citizenship eligibility shall be made no later than the seventh calendar day following the last day of the grading period. Citizenship grade changes after that time cannot restore lost eligibility. 

Standards Committee/Appeals: 

Legacy Junior High School Standards Committee will consist of an administrator, a faculty representative, student as necessary, and a PTA representative.

1. Inspect and review all their student’s education records maintained by the school within 45 days of a request for access.

Request that a school correct education records believed to be inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. 

Parents who wish to ask the school to amend a record should write the principal or appropriate school official, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed and specify why it should be changes.  If the school decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent, the school will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.                           

Provide consent before the school discloses personally identifiable information (PPI) from a student’s record, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.  Such exceptions include, but are not limited to:

A school official is a person employed by the District as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving as a volunteer; a person serving on the District School Board; a person or company with whom the District has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist), or to whom the District has outsourced institutional services or functions. 
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

Student Directory Information
Directory Information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, may be released at the discretion of school officials, without consent, for appropriate reasons such as, school publications, newspaper articles, and to outside education related organizations.  In addition, two federal laws require secondary schools to provide military recruiters, upon request, the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of their students.

Students and parents are responsible to pay all applicable school fees and fines. Persons interested in applying for a fee waiver should contact the main office.

Emergency drills are conducted monthly for the purpose of practicing safe and efficient procedures in times of emergency. Students should take each drill seriously and follow the exit routes posted in classrooms. Safety drills include the following:

• Evacuation/ Fire drills:  Students will exit the building from the nearest exit. Once outside, students should stay at least 100 feet from the building and close to their teachers. When the drill is completed, teachers will lead students back into the building. Under no circumstance should students re-enter the building unless directed by their teacher.

 

• Lockout:  A Lockout is called when there is a hazard or threat outside the school but in the general area of the school. Typically, law enforcement or another emergency agency asks the school to go into a lockout.  All outside doors are locked, and no one is allowed in or out of the building. Students remain in their class and will not have a passing period until the problem is resolved.

 

• Lockdown: Students and teachers clear the hallways, lock down their rooms, turn out the lights, move out of sight and maintain silence. They remain silent until first responders clear hallways and unlock each door. Parents and visitors inside the building follow these same procedures. Layton Police Department will be involved at least once a year in conducting this exercise. In a real situation, the lead police agency is in command of the building and evacuation. 

 

• Earthquake:  Students and teachers practice a response to an earthquake, usually along with other state agencies on the day of Utah's Great Shakeout practice. 

Students must have a hall pass in order to be in the hall during class time. Each faculty member will have a hall pass. This pass will be given to any student leaving class and returning the same period. No more than one student may use a hall pass at a time. Class time is valuable and use of the hall pass will be limited to those situations where it is necessary. 

When a student needs to check out of school for various reasons (doctor, dentist, court, etc.), he/she should present a note to his/her teacher. This note becomes a hall pass. If the student does not have a note from home, the teacher can allow the student to leave, but must write a note that will act as a hall pass. The student will then be required to call home from the attendance office in order to verify the need to check out. 

A library pass will be required when using the media center during class time. The library pass will act as a hall pass. The counseling office will occasionally send for students from class using a Counseling Call Slip. This call slip or note may serve as a student’s hall pass. 

A student may achieve the Honor Roll in scholarship, citizenship and attendance. Requirements for being placed on the honor rolls are as follows:

4.0 High Honor Roll - 4.0 GPA

High Honor Roll - 3.70 - 3.99 GPA

Honor Roll - 3.5 - 3.69 GPA

Citizenship - five (5) H’s or more

Perfect Attendance - No absences or tardies (school excused excluded)

9th Grade Valedictorian - A top male & female will be selected by school administration and faculty from those students with a 4.0 and citizenship in good standing

If a student is going to be homebound or hospitalized for more than ten consecutive school days, the parents should contact the school to apply for Home/Hospital services. Parents wishing for their student to receive Home/Hospital services should contact an administrator for a Home/Hospital referral.

In School Suspension (ISS) is designed to provide a place where students in violation of school policies may study. Students can be assigned to ISS by the administration. ISS can range from 1-3 days and can include a portion of a school day or the full day(s). If the student is absent for one of the designated suspension days, the student will complete the full suspension upon return to school. An administrator will notify parents when an In-School Suspension is assigned to a student. 

If a severe blizzard, heavy snowstorm, ice storm or other severe weather incident occurs during the night, which makes driving hazardous, and such conditions are known by 7:00 a.m., or for any other emergency identified hazardous by the superintendent, an announcement will be made over local radio and television stations informing parents of the status of the schools in the district. 

The district will also conduct a call-out to all parents, faculty and staff informing them of the school closure.  Parents can also be able to find out whether schools are closed by dialing (801) 402-5500, as well as by visiting Davis District's homepage. 

During registration, each student may request the use of a locker if they choose to use one. Only one student per locker will be allowed. Lockers are issued so students have a location to store their personal belongings during the school day. Students will be allowed to use a backpack throughout the school day from class to class, but the locker could be used for coats and other items a student does not want to carry with them throughout the school day. Lockers are to be maintained in a neat and clean fashion. Any object, photo, or picture displaying alcoholic or tobacco substances, or other inappropriate material shall not be hung in lockers. Students should not leave valuable items, such as money, in their lockers. The school will not be responsible for the theft of items taken from lockers. Furthermore, any damage to the inside of the locker will be the responsibility of that student. Damage to lockers may result in assessed fines for restitution. Combination locks are provided on all lockers. Changing combinations will cost $5.00. 

Combinations will be changed only one time at student request. Students should not give the combination to others. Individuals having problems with their locker should report to the office after going to class first and getting a hall pass. 

Students have no right or expectation of privacy in school lockers. School lockers are the sole property of the Davis School District and Legacy Junior High School. Periodic general inspections of lockers, including the use of drug detecting canines, may be conducted by school authorities for any reason at any time, without notice, without student consent, and without a search warrant. 

MEAL CHARGES IN SCHOOLS

The purpose of these procedures is to establish consistent meal charging and collection procedures districtwide.  The District’s goals are:

• To maintain a positive experience for students during meal service.

• To treat all students with dignity and respect.

• To establish practices which are age-appropriate.

• To minimize meal charges and encourage parents to pre-pay for all meals.

• To promote parents’ responsibility for meal payment and self-responsibility of the student.

Meal Accounts:  Payment in advance for meals enables the District to achieve these goals.  Personal checks and cash deposits are accepted daily at the schools.  For convenience, deposits may also be made by credit/debit card through a parent’s myDSD account.

Emergency Meal Service: The Board of Education acknowledges that on occasion, students may forget or lose meal money.  In such cases, the student’s statement of need shall be accepted, and a meal will be made available.  School lunch employees shall not, withhold a meal, provide an alternate meal, pull a student from the line, ask the student to call his parent or friend, stamp the student’s hand, or otherwise call attention to the student who has forgotten or lost meal money.  A school lunch employee may remind a student attending a secondary school that his account is in the negative.  The cost of the unpaid meal will be charged to the student’s account.

Evaluate Individual Circumstances:  When a student repeatedly comes to school without a meal from home or money to participate in the school meal program, school administrators should consider if circumstances in the home warrant contacting social workers or Child Protective Services.  Frequent requests may indicate the family’s need for free- or reduced-price meals.  School administrators may work with the family to apply for school meal benefits. All meals eaten before a free- or reduced-price meal application is processed and approved are the responsibility of the parent and must be paid for.

Repayment for Meal Charges and Bad Checks:  Federal guidelines prohibit the Food and Nutrition operation from writing off bad debts as a result of charged meals.  Every effort will be made to collect for unpaid meals.  Unpaid meal charges may result in the following:

• An automated telephone call to the parent.

• An email sent to the parent.

• A verbal reminder to student attending a secondary school.

• School lunch manager contact parents by phone or notes in teacher mail boxes.

• In case of significant delinquent payments, a letter will be sent home from the Food and Nutrition Department.

Parents are responsible to pay all their student’s meal charges.  All unpaid charges will be added to the list of any outstanding fees or unpaid fines at the end of the school year.  Uncollected meal charges shall be handled the same as other school debt.

The Media Center hours are from 7:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. for student and faculty use. During class and lunch hours students are admitted with a pass from their teachers for reference work, book check-out and check-in, or other specific class related assignments.

A student who needs to take prescription medicine during the school day should complete the medication authorization forms found in DSD Policy manual 5S-300. This policy does not prohibit a student from carrying his/her own medication to school in instances where the student’s maturity level is such that he/she could reasonably be expected to appropriately administer the medication on his/her own. In such instances, the student may carry one day’s dosage of medication on their person. Any misuse of such medication by the student may be subject to disciplinary action under District Policy 5S-100 Student Conduct and Discipline. 

Student information including grades, attendance, lunch account balances, and busing information can be accessed through the MyDSD link at Legacy Junior High’s Home Page and clicking on the MyDSD logo in the top right corner.

Grades for Canvas Classes – Legacy Junior High teachers will update grades in MyDSD once a week by the end of the work day on Monday. Student grades in MyDSD for Canvas based courses should be considered up-to-date each Monday for parents to know and understand where their student is performing.  If parents choose to follow their students Canvas coursework, they can create a parent Canvas account where they can monitor their student’s progress on specific tasks and assignments.  To set up a parent Canvas account, please follow the instructions listed on the Davis School District Canvas webpage. 

Grades for Summit Classes – Students at Legacy will be using the Summit Learning Platform for their math, science, English and history classes.  Current grades for Summit classes can be monitored in the Summit platform. Teachers for Summit-based classes will update grades in MyDSD at mid-term and end of term only.  For information on accessing and creating a Summit parent account, please complete this form or email Terri Hall at thall@dsdmail.net.  

Davis School District and Legacy Junior High do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law, in its programs and activities, and provides equal access to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups.

The Davis School District and Legacy Junior High School shall reasonably accommodate** a parent’s or guardian’s:

• written request to retain a student in kindergarten through grade 8 on grade level based on the student's academic ability or the student's social, emotional, or physical maturity.

• written request, prior to scheduled event, to excuse the student from attendance for a family event or a scheduled proactive visit to a health care provider. (Student agrees to make up course work for school days missed for the scheduled absence).

• written request to place a student in a specialized class, a specialized program, or an advanced course. (In determining whether placement is reasonable, the District shall consider multiple academic data points).

• request to excuse the student from taking an assessment that is federally mandated, is mandated by the state, or requires the use of a state assessment system or software that is provided or paid for by the state.

• initial selection of a teacher or request for a change of teacher.

• request to visit and observe any class the student attends.

• request to meet with a teacher at a mutually agreeable time if unable to attend a regularly scheduled parent teacher conference.

Each accommodation shall be considered on an individual basis and no student shall be considered to a great-er or lesser degree than any other student.

**Reasonably accommodate for purposes of this section means the District or school shall make its best effort to enable a parent or guardian to exercise a parental right specified here without substantial impact to staff and resources, including employee working conditions, safety and supervision on school premises and for school activities, and the efficient allocation of expenditures; while balancing: the parental rights of parents or guardians; the educational needs of other students; the academic and behavioral impact to a classroom; a teacher’s workload; and the assurance of the safe and efficient operation of a school.

The parental rights specified here do not include all the rights or accommodations available to parents or guardians from the public education system.

Personal items that can be deemed as a "toy" and are not for the educational enhancement of a student are not permitted on the campus of Legacy Junior High School because they disrupt classes and interfere with the educational process. Items brought to school will be confiscated and a parent must make arrangements to pick the item up in the office. Rollerblades and skateboards may not be used on campus. If a student brings these items to school, they must be put in that student’s locker upon arrival. 

Scope - Electronic devices have become a common means of communication and information access today. However, these devices have the potential of disrupting the orderly operation of a school. Legacy Junior High School has, therefore, adopted this policy to govern the possession and use of electronic devices on school premises, during school hours, at school sponsored activities, and on school transportation. 

Definition - For purposes of this policy "electronic device" means a device that is used for audio, video, or text communication or any other type of computer or computer-like instrument including: (1) a smart phone; (2) a smart or electronic watch; (3) a tablet; or (4) a virtual reality device. 

Possession and Use of Electronic Devices - Students may possess and use electronic devices at school subject to the following: 

• Students may carry or possess electronic devices at school and school sponsored activities. 

• At no time may electronic devices be used in restrooms or locker rooms. 

• Students may use electronic devices before school, after school, and during lunchtime. 

• If at any time an electronic device is used in such a way that is deemed disruptive to the school, school authorities may confiscate the device.  Students who violate this policy may lose the privilege of bringing electronic devices to school. 

Prohibitions - Electronic devices shall not be used in a way that threatens, humiliates, harasses, or intimidates school related individuals, including students, employees, and visitors, or violates local, state, or federal law. Electronic devices may not be used during Utah Performance Assessment System for students' assessments unless specifically allowed by law, student IEP, or assessment directions.  Students may not use the audio or video function of any electronic device at school, without the permission of a supervising adult as part of a legitimate academic pursuit. 

Confiscation - If a student violates this policy, his/her electronic device may be confiscated. When an employee confiscates an electronic device under this policy, he/she shall take reasonable measures to label and secure the device and turn the device over to a school administrator as soon as the employee’s duties permit. When this policy is violated, the school officials will use the following process along with applying discipline points according to the Points Policy: 

1st Offense: Warning to put the device away. 

2nd Offense: Device confiscated - taken to main office for administrative warning. 

3rd Offense: Device confiscated - parent notification of electronic device policy. 

4th Offense: Device confiscated - device must be picked up by a parent or guardian. 

5th Offense: Device confiscated - device must be picked up by a parent or guardian with a policy review on disruption of schools. 

Offenses beyond the 5th offense may result in a suspension from school and other appropriate disciplinary action. 

 

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag shall be recited by students at the beginning of each school day in each public school classroom in the State, led by a student in the classroom, as assigned by the classroom teacher on a rotating basis. Participation in the Pledge is voluntary and not compulsory.

In compliance with existing federal and State law regarding religion and religious expression in public schools, the District or school may neither advance nor inhibit religion. It is the District’s policy to: 1) allow students and employees to engage in expression of personal religious views or beliefs within the parameters of current law, and 2) maintain the schools’ official neutrality regarding sectarian religious issues according to the constitutional principle of separation between church and state.

SAFE & ORDERLY SCHOOLS

It is the policy of the Davis School District and Legacy Jr. High to promote a safe and orderly school environment for all students and employees.  Criminal acts or disruptive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated and any individual who engages in such activity will be subject to school disciplinary action as determined by school administrators, District disciplinary action as determined by the District

Case Management Team, police referral, and/or prosecution.  In determining appropriate discipline, school officials will consider the totality of the circumstances, including the severity of the offense, as well as the individual’s age, disability status, intent, academic status, and prior disciplinary records.

WEAPONS AND EXPLOSIVES – AUTOMATIC ONE YEAR EXPULSION

Any student who in a school building, in a school vehicle, on District property, or in conjunction with any school activity, possesses, controls, sales, arranges for the sale of, uses or threatens use of a real weapon, explosive, noxious or flammable material, or actually uses or threatens to use a look-alike or pretend weapon with the intent to intimidate another person or to disrupt normal school activities, shall be expelled from all District schools, programs, and activities for a period of not less than one calendar year; unless the District Case Management Team determines, on a case-by-case basis, that a lesser penalty would be more appropriate.  The terms “weapon,” “explosive,” and “noxious or flammable material” includes but are not limited to: guns, starter pistols, cap guns, knives, martial arts accessories, bombs, bullets and ammunition, fireworks, gasoline or other flammable liquids, matches, and lighters. 

DRUGS/CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES

Any student, who possesses, controls, uses, distributes, sells, or arranges the sale of an illegal drug or controlled substance (which includes alcohol, tobacco in any form, and electronic cigarettes), an imitation controlled substance, or drug paraphernalia in a school building, in a school vehicle, on District property, or in conjunction with any school activity, may be suspended, transferred to an alternative placement, tested for drugs, expelled, referred for police investigation, and/or prosecuted.

SERIOUS VIOLATIONS

Any student may be suspended, transferred to an alternative placement, expelled, referred for police investigation, and/or prosecuted for committing any of the following school-related serious violations: 1) threatening or causing harm to the school, school property, or person associated with the school, or property associated with that person, regardless of where the conduct occurs; 2) committing any criminal act, including but not limited to: assault, hazing, rape, trespass, arson, theft, vandalism, possession or use of pornographic materials on school property; 3) engaging in any gang activity, including but not limited to flashing gang signs, displaying or spraying gang graffiti, wearing or displaying gang related clothing or apparel, or soliciting others for membership in a gang.

DISRUPTION OF SCHOOL OPERATIONS

Any student may be suspended, transferred to an alternative placement, expelled, referred for police investigation, and/or prosecuted for any conduct that creates an unreasonable and substantial disruption or risk of disruption of a class, activity, program, or other function of the school, including but not limited to frequent, flagrant, or willful disobedience; defiance of school authority; criminal activity; fighting; noncompliance with school dress code; possession of contraband (I.e., drug paraphernalia, pornography, mace, pepper spray, laser pen, chains, needles, razor blades, bats and clubs); or the use of foul, profane, vulgar, harassing or abusive language.

DUE PROCESS

When a student is suspected of violating Legacy Jr. High or District policy the school administrator must meet with and inform him/her of the allegations and provide the student the opportunity to give his/her version of the incident.  If the school administrator determines sufficient evidence exists to impose discipline the school administrator shall notify the parent that 1) this student has been suspended; 2) grounds for the suspension; 3) the period of time for which the student is suspended; and 4) the time and place for the parent to meet a designated school official to review the suspension.

AUTHORITY TO SUSPEND OR EXPEL

The school administration has the authority to suspend a student for up to ten school days per incident.  If the school administrator desires or contemplates suspending for longer than ten school days or expelling a student, the school administrator shall make a referral to the District’s Case Management Team.

BULLYING/CYBER-BULLYING/HAZING/RETALIATION/ABUSIVE CONDUCT

A student may be suspended, transferred to an alternative placement, expelled, referred for police investigation, and/or prosecuted for engaging in any written, physical, or verbal aggression, intimidation, discrimination, or abusive conduct of any school employee or student at school or a school-related activities regardless of location or circumstance, including but not limited to bullying, cyber-bullying, hazing, or retaliation.

District policy may be found at 5S-100 Conduct and Discipline.  

SEARCH AND SEIZURE

School officials have the authority to search a student’s person, personal property, or vehicle while located on school property or at a school sponsored activity, when they have reason to believe that the search will turn up evidence that the student has violated or is violating a particular law or school rule.

Students have no right or expectation of privacy in school lockers, desks, or other storage areas provided for student use.  School Lockers, desks or other storage areas are the sole property of the Davis School District and Legacy Jr. High.  Periodic general inspections of school lockers, including the use of drug detecting canines, may be conducted by school authorities for any reason at any time, without notice, without notice, without student consent, and without a search warrant.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Participation in interscholastic athletics, cheerleading, student government, student clubs, graduation ceremonies, and other extracurricular activities is not a constitutionally protected civil right.  Therefore, students who are suspended, transferred to an alternative placement, or expelled, may lose the privilege of participation in all extracurricular activities during the period of discipline and will not be afforded due process procedures to challenge the denial of participation.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION REQUIREMENT

A parent having custody over a school-age minor is required under State law to enroll and send a school-age minor to a public or established private school during the school year in the district in which the minor resides.  The process of education requires continuity of instruction, class participation and study. Parents are encouraged to work with the school in promoting regular attendance of all students.

 

Legacy Junior High School has high expectations for exemplary student behavior at all activities. The following rules will help us maintain a high standard of behavior at athletic events.

1. All spectators will remain in the stands and stay off the playing area before, during, and after athletic contests.

2. Spectators are prohibited from having noisemakers of any kind such as whistles, cowbells, horns, etc.

3. Megaphones and signs are also prohibited at athletic events.

4. Booing or contesting calls made by referees is not considered to be good sportsmanship and will not be allowed.

Students not following this standard may be escorted out of the activity/event and may be suspended from participating in future events.

A copy of the current Student Neighborhood Access Plan (SNAP) will be available on the Legacy Junior High web page, and in the office upon its completion each year.

Any destruction or defacing of school property is considered vandalism. Students participating in vandalism will be subject to charges from law enforcement and expected to pay restitution on damages done. Students who know about or observe vandalism have the responsibility to report it to the administration. Students who witness and do not report vandalism will be considered an accomplice and may be expected to pay restitution for damages.

Because of the number of students in classes, and safe school procedures, we are unable to allow students from other schools or out of town to attend with a student in our school. Please make arrangements to have out of town guests entertained at home.

Visitors are to check into the main office upon entering the building. Only school personnel, parents or legal guardians are permitted to visit with students during school hours. All visitors must have a visitors badge prior to entering open hallways. Any exceptions to this policy must be cleared with the administration. High school students are not allowed on campus or in the Legacy designated parking areas during school hours.

Trespassers will be referred to the police.
